Hello, I’m Ella!
The topic of today’s post is forehead filler.
When you want to make your forehead round and voluminous, you are most concerned about whether to use fillers or fat grafting.
Among them, I’m going to focus on forehead filler today!
I’ve been thinking about a forehead filler these days, shall we read it together?
Summary of forehead filler duration and side effects!
Forehead filler effect and duration
Forehead fillers are popular because they can easily give volume with just an injection, and the procedure takes about 10 minutes.
Along with the forehead, fillers are also injected into the temples!
Because the temples are hollow with age, the bones become prominent, which can cause a masculine look or look older.
Adding volume to the shape of the forehead, wrinkles, and temples can create a youthful and feminine face.
Advantages of forehead filler Although there are individual differences depending on the formulation injected or the person receiving the procedure, the advantage of forehead filler is that it lasts from 18 to 24 months and can be re-injected or modified.
If you do not like the shape, you can achieve what you want by disassembling the filler with a filler injection (hyaluronidase) and performing the procedure again.
I don’t like it, but it doesn’t have only advantages, but there are side effects and risks. It would be good to know in advance so that there is no regret after receiving the procedure!
internal bleeding
Forehead fillers have the potential to cause internal bleeding.
Still, there are very few cases of blue bruising, and most of them are not very noticeable by the next day.
Within 24 hours after the filler injection, there is a possibility that the bleeding that stopped at the time of the procedure may resume, so it is better to avoid activities that require exercise or a lot of movement, long bathing, or drinking.
If there is a bruise on the forehead due to bleeding, the bruise may move in the direction of gravity over time and spread to the glabella.
bookkeeping
In some cases, you may experience temporary swelling or slight pain after a filler injection.
In cases of systemic inflammation, such as a cold, water leaks from the blood vessels into the subcutaneous tissue. Hyaluronic acid is presumed to lead to edema because it has a high water retention capacity.
When the body recovers, the symptoms disappear.
If an allergic reaction occurs
Because hyaluronic acid, a component of the filler, is naturally present in the human body, it can be safely applied.
However, some of the fillers in hyaluronic acid preparations contain a chemical called a cross-linking agent that binds hyaluronic acid and makes absorption difficult, so allergic reactions such as swelling, itching, and redness may occur due to cross-linking agents or preservatives.
However, it is said that only about one in thousands of people will have an allergic reaction.
When allergy symptoms appear, the filler is disassembled with a filler disassembly injection, and depending on the symptoms, there is also a case of anti-allergy treatment.
Clumping
In some cases, a lump may appear after the filler is injected. It is said that if you inject an excessive amount in one area, it can clump together.
However, in the case of the forehead, there is less clumping!
For the forehead, the filler is injected in a wide area, and there are few cases where it is frequently or re-injected.
And because the filler is injected into the layer deeper than the muscle, that is, the part that comes in contact with the bone, there is not much clumping.
If they still clump, get an injection that dissolves the filler and the clumps will disappear!
infection
Although the forehead filler itself is manufactured and handled in an aseptic manner, fillers with high safety are used, but resident bacteria exist on the skin or mucous membranes.
Common bacteria are always present in the skin but are not pathogenic or contagious. When common bacteria enter the body through wounds or acne, they sometimes reach the site where the filler is injected.
However, in the case of normal immunity, the probability of infection is very low if the filler is injected through an appropriate process.
Skin necrosis following embolism
An embolism is a condition in which an artery is blocked. If an embolism occurs and blood flow is blocked, the skin or subcutaneous tissue may die.
If the filler is injected while the tip of the needle is inside the blood vessel, the blood. a vessel may be blacked.
You can avoid embolism as much as possible by avoiding excessive doses in the process of injecting filler and checking whether the injection is in the blood vessel before injection.
The treated area may become bumpy
There are cases where the treatment area becomes bumpy due to the doctor’s lack of skill or excessive injection.
If you feel uneven right after injecting the filler, the doctor may shape it while molding it by hand, or inject it again.
In addition, for two weeks after the procedure, the filler may be biased to one side depending on the movement of the glabellar muscles. In this case, you can correct it by injecting the filler again.
If you feel that the effect is not enough
Even if you have a detailed consultation with your doctor in advance, you may feel that the effect is less after the procedure.
After the procedure, the patient can directly check in the mirror, so if the volume is insufficient, it is possible to add it.
Because forehead fillers are originally injected to spread widely, the shape does not change well over time, so few people want to re-inject.
Filler Treatment Tips
check if you are using a microcannula(blunt-tipped needle)
A microcannula is a micro-suction tube, and unlike a normal needle, the tip of the needle is round.
Because it does not damage blood vessels well, it is less dangerous and can reduce internal bleeding and pain.
Get the procedure done by an experienced doctor To get satisfactory results, you need to choose a hospital or doctor well. Wouldn’t it be safe to have a procedure performed by a doctor with extensive filler treatment experience?
